+ *
+ * This pass lowers jumps (break, continue, and return) to if/else structures.
+ *
+ * It can be asked to:
+ * 1. Pull jumps out of ifs where possible
+ * 2. Remove all "continue"s, replacing them with an "execute flag"
+ * 3. Replace all "break" with a single conditional one at the end of the loop
+ * 4. Replace all "return"s with a single return at the end of the function,
+ * for the main function and/or other functions
+ *
+ * Applying this pass gives several benefits:
+ * 1. All functions can be inlined.
+ * 2. nv40 and other pre-DX10 chips without "continue" can be supported
+ * 3. nv30 and other pre-DX10 chips with no control flow at all are better
+ * supported
+ *
+ * Continues are lowered by adding a per-loop "execute flag", initialized to
+ * true, that when cleared inhibits all execution until the end of the loop.
+ *
+ * Breaks are lowered to continues, plus setting a "break flag" that is checked
+ * at the end of the loop, and trigger the unique "break".
+ *
+ * Returns are lowered to breaks/continues, plus adding a "return flag" that
+ * causes loops to break again out of their enclosing loops until all the
+ * loops are exited: then the "execute flag" logic will ignore everything
+ * until the end of the function.
+ *
+ * Note that "continue" and "return" can also be implemented by adding
+ * a dummy loop and using break.
+ * However, this is bad for hardware with limited nesting depth, and
+ * prevents further optimization, and thus is not currently performed.

+/**
+ * Enum recording the result of analyzing how control flow might exit

+ *
+ * Each possible value of jump_strength indicates a strictly stronger
+ * guarantee on control flow than the previous value.
+ *
+ * The ordering of strengths roughly reflects the way jumps are
+ * lowered: jumps with higher strength tend to be lowered to jumps of
+ * lower strength. Accordingly, strength is used as a heuristic to
+ * determine which lowering to perform first.
+ *
+ * This enum is also used by get_jump_strength() to categorize
+ * instructions as either break, continue, return, or other. When
+ * used in this fashion, strength_always_clears_execute_flag is not
+ * used.
+ *
+ * The control flow analysis made by this optimization pass makes two
+ * simplifying assumptions:
+ *
+ * - It ignores discard instructions, since they are lowered by a
+ * separate pass (lower_discard.cpp).
+ *
+ * - It assumes it is always possible for control to flow from a loop
+ * to the instruction immediately following it. Technically, this
+ * is not true (since all execution paths through the loop might
+ * jump back to the top, or return from the function).
+ *
+ * Both of these simplifying assumtions are safe, since they can never
+ * cause reachable code to be incorrectly classified as unreachable;
+ * they can only do the opposite.
